A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

Reader mode
Here are two possible level up plans for Amrelath. One is a Marshall for minion enhancement and boosted Diplomacy. Since it comes with Skill Focus (Diplomacy) as a bonus feat, it's worth dumping more skill points in to take advantage of that. Watchful Eye is a Reflex save boosting aura, which everyone can benefit from, including Amrelath, since Dragon's aren't known for their high Dexterity attribute. His Charisma bonus is +4 currently, so the aura would give everyone within range a +4 bonus on Reflex saves.

With that aura active, a level in Marshall effectively gives Amrelath a +2 bonus to his Fortitude and Will saves and a +4 for his Reflex saves.

The other option is Dragon Mystic, which opens up 5th level spells for Amrelath. Firebrand gives him a versatile ranged attack spell that can target multiple different enemies, something he's currently lacking. We can give him a pair of Anklets of the Wide Earth to allow him to convert 5th level spell slots into Teleport spells. Planar Tolerance would also be a good option for his new spell, IMO, since he could use it to help his minions survive in inhospitable places, such as the Plane of Fire.

[] Amrelath Level Up
-[] +1 Marshall
-[] Skills (7 points): +1 Sense Motive, +6 Diplomacy
-[] Minor Aura: Watchful Eye

or

You've got my support for Dragon Mystic. Just that one level of magic and he and his team become far more versatile.

Edit: I think that's a reasonable sacrifice, over 200 total CL, one thematically relevant item of mythic nature and with a design of Fire and Shadow.

Defiler of Eternities is a great weapon with no curse. We should save that for a suitable wielder, IMO. The Blade of the Forsaken Champion or Heartwounder would be more appropriate if you want to use a high end weapon.

Blade of the Forsaken Champion (Unholy Avenger Valyrian Steel Longsword; 18th caster level)

Heartwounder (+3 Profane Burst Bastard Sword; 15th caster level), Special: When used against a creature with less than half of its maximum Hit Points, Heartwounder's Enhancement bonus increases by +2 and its Critical Threat Range increases to from 19-20 to 17-20. This effect does not stack with similar bonuses granted by the Keen property or Improved Critical feat.

Heartwounder seems to mundane for this occasion, just another nice blade from some mercenary (Liomond).

Maybe Forsaken Champion, but I'd rather give that to Sarell and sacrifice the Defiler than the other way around.

I wanted to, but some folks didn't want to assign it to Sarell when we could use it as a sacrifice later.

I'd rather not destroy it. That's a seriously good sword for her.

If you want a crowning centerpiece for the sacrifice, rather than an item, go with the Void-Touched Olrethodaemon. A piece of R'hllor's greatest enemy killed in his name is going to make him happy, even if it has nothing to do with Ymeri.
 
@Artemis1992, the sacrifice portion of my plan is a bit more thorough. Can we synch those up so it's only Amrelath's level up we're contesting?

Not to mention that by now Qyburn should have already ripped all relevant necromancy out of the Olrethodaemon's head. Its sole purpose is sacrifice now.

@Goldfish, for the Dragon Mystic thing, I agree that Firebrand is a good choice for his 5th level spell, but I think we should give him a PoSK for Planar Tolerance anyway since he's been gearing up to carve out his own province in the Plane of Fire for a while.
